Kathryn Kirkland-Franco , LPC

Kathryn Kirkland-Franco welcomes people who are exploring ways to improve their overall wellness. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in the State of Texas. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that indicates clinical licensure to provide counseling services in Texas.

After many years in practice, she draws from a variety of therapeutic modalities and selects tools based on the needs of each person she sees. Her foundational approaches include Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which she blends to support both practical change and deeper understanding of emotions and patterns.

Kathryn believes many of the answers to life questions can be found within each individual and that those answers are easier to access within a trusting therapeutic relationship. In everyday encounters people often guess she is a therapist because of her calm and reassuring manner. She invites anyone seeking that kind of supportive relationship to reach out, and she offers encouragement to those already taking steps toward self-care.

Online Therapy Approaches and How They Work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships. It helps people understand attachment styles, improve emotional connection, and address issues like intimacy concerns, abandonment, and family dynamics.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life. The therapist offers empathy and support while helping clients access their own resources for growth, which can be useful for self-esteem, grief, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then develop practical strategies to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can offer consistent support across these formats, helping clients access care from home, work, or while traveling.
